Recipe: Nutella Bread Pudding
Source: steamykitchen.com
Ingredients:
3 croissants (preferably 1-2 days old)
1 Nutella spread
1/4 cup pecan halves
2 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup powdered sugar
How to make it...
First the oven needs to be preheat to 350 degrees F.
Slice each croissant in half lengthwise then slather one side with Nutella. Put the halves back together and cut into 2-inch pieces.
*steamykitchen said that if you don't have croissant on hand then brioche, Challah and even French bread or a baguette works good as well.
Add sandwich pieces and pecans to a small baking dish (suggested: 10-inch x 5-inch loaf pan).
To make the custard, add eggs, cream, vanilla extract, salt and sugar to a medium bowl and whisk until all are combined.
Pour the custard over the sandwich pieces then gently push down the bread so the its can absorb the custard.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 30 minutes then remove the foil and continue to bake uncovered for about 10 minutes or until the bread pudding is golden brown and has risen slightly.
Let cool and then sprinkle on powdered sugar to finish.
Enjoy! :)
